Through all the employments of life
Each neighbour abuses his brother;
Whore and rogue they call husband and wife:
All professions be-rogue one another.
(John Gay (1685-1732), British dramatist. Peachum, in The Beggar's Opera, act 1, sc. 1.)

Eliot dead, you saying,
"And who is left to understand my jokes?
My old Brother in the arts . . . and besides, he was a smash of
poet."

All my life long I have been sensible of the injustice constantly done to women. Since I have had to fight the world single-handed, there has not been one day I have not smarted under the wrongs I have had to bear, because I was not only a woman, but a woman doing a man's work, without any man, husband, son, brother or friend, to stand at my side, and to see some semblance of justice done me. I cannot forget, for injustice is a sixth sense, and rouses all the others.
(Amelia E. Barr (1831-1919), U.S. author; born in Scotland. All the Days of My Life, ch. 26 (1913).
Widowed in her late thirties and left with three daughters to support entirely by herself, Barr had managed to become a popular writer of fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. Though not an active suffragist, she supported woman suffrage and other social reforms.)

What poet would not grieve to see
His brother write as well as he?
But rather than they should excel,
He'd wish his rivals all in Hell.
(Jonathan Swift (1667-1745), Anglo-Irish satirist. repr. In The Poems of Jonathan Swift, ed. H. Williams (1958). Verses on the Death of Dr Swift, l. 31-4 (1731).)

O Sword,
you are the younger brother, the latter-born,
your Triumph, however exultant,
must one day be over,
in the beginning
was the Word.
(Hilda Doolittle (1886-1961), U.S. poet. "The Walls Do Not Fall.")
